When Albanese mentioned Dutton's name and someone in the crowd boo'd or made some negative remark he made the point to stop and remind all of us the standards we should live by "No, that's not who we are. In Australia, we treat each other with respect".

Given everything that is going on in global politics right now, I felt a rare sting of patriotism listening to both the concessions and celebration speeches of the AU leaders today. Dutton was unexpectedly humble and kind in his words for his opponent.

@edzitron.com just listened to your tech I love episode. Loved it! I think your cynical/realistic take on most things made me value your opinion on these things more. Checked them all out. I think the screen and dock are in my future. 🙏

I have built a thing. If you're playing with AI tools and/or MCP Servers it would mean a lot if you could try it out and give me any feedback you have.

It's a way to ask your existing tools what your options are to extend their abilities further. There's an example on the homepage

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

I’ve been playing with MCP a lot lately. I created basically a Hello World + GitHub OAuth to access it, deployed to Cloudflare workers, and added to Claude Desktop.

I’ve only used it once yet it’s mere existence is generating many thousands of requests every day?! 🤯

It's been in Model Context Protocol MCP and all things "AI agents"...

🤝 OpenAI officially adopted the MCP standard introduced by Anthropic : lnkd.in/gqMsHTGF
📦 Box shared a demo of their MCP server : lnkd.in/gqrcha6m
🤖 Zapier announced their MCP server : zapier.com/mcp

In all seriousness though, I'd love to talk to people that are working on #ai projects and how they're thinking about branding them. What's important? What domains and TLDs do you consider? Does the domain need to be available first? etc

I've been doing a bunch of research of late on AI products, which inevitably means having to explore product positioning and branding. My #PSA for anyone who needs to hear it is that the domain adrenocorticotrophin.ai is currently unregistered!

You're welcome 😝

My latest open source toolset MCPTools just hit ⭐️ 150+ stars on @github.com, and people are really loving it!

I’m hopeful it’ll become one of the best utilities for inspecting and debugging MCP servers 🥹

I just livestreamed vibe coding an MCP server that is capable of generating a Keynote slide deck based on the talk title and an abstract.

Model Context Protocol + Keynote
Can I use an LLM to create my next slide deck? Let's see if I can hack an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that controls Keynote!

Spending sssooooo much time lately deep in AI agents, enterprise AI, and MCP. Would love to come up for some air and get fresh perspectives. What are other people working on or playing with in these areas?

ugh, breaks my heart when former employers are so bad with pricing changes :(

My take on this is that we're reaching the limits of our iterative approach to improving security. The game has changed and we need new tools. We can't keep layering in network-level solutions and MITMing ourselves to try and inspect what is already happening.

We've been doing a bunch of work with various #serverless companies of late. The cold start time for an Ockam Portal is now 10ms, meaning you can spin up an ephemeral connection to any private system in pretty much any environment.

one of bluesky’s mottos is “the company is a future adversary,” so we have to design this service in a way that preserves user choice & freedom

users should own their data, identity, and relationships on the social internet, and devs should never get locked out of the ecosystems that they build

I think it's time to put the US political system in the naughty corner for a little while. Go and quietly think about what you've done.

bluesky request.

do not follow or reward quote-doomers. people who quote an article and only add something like "you have no idea how bad this is" or "it's over" or "say goodbye to everything you love".

they succeed from your stress. they're bringing you down with them. stay awake; not like this.
